Description:

This book is not for computer geeks. It’s for regular people, such as parents, who have purchased one or more personal computers for the family; and who are concerned about how those computers can be used safely on-line and off-line so that... . • Individual computer users – particularly children, but maybe your granny – are protected from illegal, immoral, pornographic, or violent content. • The computer itself is resilient to attack from viruses, spyware, and other malevolent forces resident on the Internet. The book is primarily concerned with the safety and security features of Windows Vista, which contribute towards a safer computing environment for the whole family. Since your family will likely have additional Windows XP computers, you will also find some suggestions on how similar family safety features may be applied on those computers too.
